Re: Bad gas mileage, any ideas???
Have never had a smog test, never really knew they exsisted. Don't really know what it is. I have good driving habits, and i believe fuel filter is the only thing that i haven't changed out

Re: Bad gas mileage, any ideas???
A smog test will tell you a lot about your engine such as unburned hydrocarbons, CO2, NOX etc which could lead you to what is causing low gas mileage. I don't think a fuel filter could cause problems with mileage but an air filter could.
